Also, if you're following that design..... don't... the single central screw for the X-axis will cause you hours of pain if you plan to cut anything stronger than cheese at the full width of the Y axis. Plan and budget for two screws and either 2 drives & motors or a single motor and pulley system unless you make the x-axis bearings really long to counteract racking. Go re-read some of the build logs, its been discussed in depth many times. If you're investing in a serious machine, best to get it right at the outset!
